[DeTomaso] Value of Rebuilt Koni Shocks?

[Julian Kift]

Mike,
Switching to upgraded shocks is all very well and may be what Corey has done to have these available, the question was how much are the rebuilt originals worth and I'd say that to the person restoring a Pantera to stock (as many might be now that values for those cars are at a premium) they should be worth at least what Corey paid to have them rebuilt i.e. the $770.

>>>That's an apples-to-oranges comparison.   Corey said that his were NOT 
the kind that you have; his are original-style, meaning basically just like 
the stock shocks by Ariston as fitted to the '71 Panteras.   They have no 
ride height adjustablility, and only single damping adjustment.
 
They are nice, stock shocks, and should work just fine.   But for that kind 
of money, I would have stretched just a bit further to the ones that you 
have (and I have) which are substantially better in several regards (ride 
height adjustability, size, weight, etc.)
